The local effects of convection and the mountainous terrain continue to cause rains with thunder and lightning and occasional wind gusts almost all over the country. Intense rains have been reported in the northwest, the Central Cibao, and the Central Mountains mostly in the afternoon or early evening. The National Meteorological Office (Onamet) is maintaining its alert against flash floods and landslides for those residents living near rivers, creeks and streams in the provinces of Monte Plata and Monsignor Nouel (Bonao). Onamet noted the presence of a low-pressure area about 1,200 kilometers to the east-southeast of Bermuda, but they noted that there is very little chance of it developing into a sub-tropical cyclone.

Rains are forecast today for the provinces of Valverde (Mao), Santiago Rodriguez, Montecristi, Dajabon, Elias Pina, San Juan de la Maguana, Puerto Plata, La Vega, Monsignor Nouel, Espaillat (Moca), Hermanas Mirabal (Salcedo), Duarte (San Francisco), Sanchez Ramirez (Cotui), Monte Plata, San Jose de Ocoa, Hato Mayor and El Seibo.
